Among them, 41 were women ... and 30 men, mean age 67,2 years. Arterial hypertension was present in 06,3 % of patients, 29.5 % were without a structural heart disease. Conversion rate of atrial fibrillation at 8 hours was 70 %. Adverse events were observed in 3 patients: pauses of more than 2 seconds at the time of conversion to sinus rhythm and transient hypotension.
